“It is the beautiful bird which gets caged”
Chinese Proverbs
“Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you? Am I making believe I see in you, a woman too perfect to be really true? Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you? Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream, or are you really as beautiful as you seem?”
Oscar Hammerstein II
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
“For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.”
Ivan Panin
“Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.”
Saint Augustine
“Nobody of any real culture, for instance, ever talks nowadays about the beauty of sunset. Sunsets are quite old fashioned. To admire them is a distinct sign of provincialism of temperament. Upon the other hand they go on.”
Oscar Wilde
“I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful”
Friedrich Nietzsche
